More Info

General Info: I am a sole practitioner and have dedicated the past 19 years to defending individuals who have been charged with criminal offenses. Over the years I have defended thousands of people that have found themselves in literally thousands of different situations but they all have had one thing in common, they are forced to defend themselves against what sometimes seems to be insurmountable odds Local, state, and federal authorities have virtually unlimited resources at their disposal to secure criminal convictions. If you are charged with a criminal offense, you need an experienced lawyer to even the odds against you. Over the past 19 years I have battled in the "trenches" against prosecutors and law enforcement and that experience has provided me with extensive insight in analyzing criminal cases and in turn providing reasoned and logical legal advice to my clients. If you find yourself in need of "reasoned and logical" legal advice, please do not hesitate to call me for a free initial consultation. Remember, Experience Counts.

Criminal Defense
The Law Office of Joe A. Johnson provides criminal defense services to Fargo and all of North Dakota. Contact Attorney Joe Johnson directly or stop by his office to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
DUI/DWI
In North Dakota and most other states in the U.S., the legal limit for alcohol content (AC) is.08 percent while operating a vehicle. This means that if you are pulled over and you have an alcohol content of more than.08 percent, you are considered to be driving under the influence and may be arrested for DUI. North Dakota law also states that if you are in actual physical control (APC) of your vehicle and you are over the legal limit you may be charged with DUI. Drivers handling commercial vehicles have a legal limit of.04 percent, and drivers under 21 who are over the.02 percent limit may be arrested and charged with DUI.
Traffic Violations
When the death is unintentional, the crime is classified as manslaughter. Manslaughter occurs when a person’s recklessness leads to another person’s the loss of life. For example, reckless driving behavior can lead to a crash in which the passenger dies. Although the driver did not intend to kill the passenger, the reckless behavior behind the wheel is still a criminal offense. Most manslaughter offenses are classified as Class B felonies, carrying a punishment of up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine.

Theft
Misdemeanors
North Dakota divides criminal offenses into two major categories: felonies and misdemeanors. Felony crimes are considered to be more serious, so their penalties are significant and long-lasting. Our firm handles a wide range of felony cases, such as...
Embezzlement
Drug Crimes
Federal cases are tried within the federal court system. Since there are fewer federal prosecutors, cases involving federal crimes usually take longer to resolve. Punishments are typically decided using federal sentencing guidelines, and the penalties are often more severe than the penalties at the state level. For instance, most convictions for federal drug crimes automatically trigger a mandatory minimum prison sentence that can last for several years. If convicted of a federal crime, the defendant serves time in a federal prison instead of a state prison.
Assault
North Dakota law defines assault as the willful infliction of bodily injury to another person, or the harm of another person due an armed individual’s negligence. There are different categories of assault charges, such as domestic violence, aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment. People who have been convicted of assault face significant consequences, including jail time, costly fines, and limitations on future employment and housing options. If you are facing assault charges, you need to reach out to a skilled criminal defense attorney who can help you navigate the criminal justice system while vigorously defending your rights. Call the Law Office of Joe A. Johnson today to get started with a trusted criminal defense lawyer who has been protecting the rights of North Dakota residents for over two decades.
Murder
North Dakota law recognizes three main forms of homicide crimes. Murder, the most serious of these crimes, involves criminal intent to end the life of another person. Most murder convictions are considered Class AA felonies, carrying a life imprisonment sentence. In cases where the murder occurred in the heat of the moment due to a deep emotional disturbance, the charge may be lowered to a Class A felony offense, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $20,000 fine.
Juvenile Crimes
Juvenile crimes are handled differently than most crimes that travel through the traditional criminal justice system. The defendant, who is under the age of 18, appears in front of a judge, and no jury is involved. Rather than focusing on punishments, the juvenile justice system attempts to rehabilitate the youth and foster growth and learning opportunities that will act as deterrents to future delinquent behavior. If you or your child has been charged with a juvenile crime, reach out to the Law Office of Joe A. Johnson today to get the high-quality and compassionate legal assistance you need.
Probation Violation
Joe Johnson has been defending clients in and out of court in North Dakota for nearly 25 years. He has battled hundreds of prosecutors in the courtroom and knows the ins and outs of criminal procedures. Whether you have been accused of DUI or DWI, a drug offense or drug conspiracy, assault, domestic violence, theft, a property offense, probation violation, felony crime or something else, he will have your back.
Homicide
In cases of negligent homicide, a person’s irresponsible or negligent actions lead to the death of another person. For instance, a parent who leaves a child in a hot car for a period of time may return to find out that the child has passed away. The parent would likely be charged with negligent homicide, which is usually classified as a class C felony. If convicted, the parent would face up to 5 years in prison and a possible fine of $10,000.
Arson
According to North Dakota state law, arson occurs when someone intentionally starts or maintains a fire or explosion in order to cause damage to property. In many cases, it is also assumed that the intent of the fire is to collect insurance money for the loss or destruction of the property. Most arson crimes are classified as Class C felonies, carrying penalties of up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. If the life of another person was placed in jeopardy, the charge becomes a Class B felony, which carries more severe consequences.
Money Laundering
Kidnapping
Although the majority of criminal cases are prosecuted at the state level, the federal court intervenes in situations where states lack jurisdiction or when the offense takes place on federally-owned property. Additionally, when a crime occurs across multiple states, such as a kidnapping that traverses state lines, the case is handled by a federal court. Federal offenses are often carry more severe penalties, so it is essential that you contact a seasoned criminal defense attorney with a deep understanding of federal crimes as soon as possible. Since 1992, attorney Joe Johnson has been representing clients in both state and federal courts in North Dakota and helping them secure the best possible outcomes. Reach out today to learn more about his criminal defense services.
Manslaughter
Crimes involving the loss of life are considered to be the most serious, and the penalties associated with a homicide conviction are severe. Of course, there are many different circumstances that lead to the death of another person, so homicide criminal charges are divided into three main categories: murder, manslaughter, and negligent homicide. If you or a loved one is facing a homicide charge, it is essential that you contact an experienced and skilled criminal defense attorney as soon as possible in order to increase your chances of securing the best possible outcome. Call the Law Office of Joe A. Johnson today to get started with a trusted and reliable criminal defense lawyer who understands the criminal justice system in North Dakota and how to aggressively defend your rights.
Internet Crimes
Additionally, as the internet and mobile devices have facilitated the exchange of explicit photos and messages, more individuals are finding themselves accused of internet sex crimes. The internet is a notoriously mysterious place, and the origin of many images is usually unknown. It is important to work with a tech-savvy criminal defense attorney who understands how to construct a strong defensive strategy that will defend your rights and keep your reputation intact.
Extortion

Business and Corporate Law

Business Transactions
Most white collar crimes involve lengthy investigations, and there are many nuances to each case. In order to respond to white collar crime charges, you need to work with a shrewd criminal defense attorney who understands the complexities of business transactions and corporate operations. Although white collar crimes are non-violent in nature, a conviction carries significant penalties, including lengthy prison sentences, expensive fines, and the permanent loss of your good name.
